Review of Blade Runner 2049 (2017) by Shastri A — 17 Dec 2017

A layered, complex story that questions what it means to be human. While the vision is entirely original, the references to the old classic and timeless storytelling technique--beautifully employed--make this a masterpiece.

Whether its an object moving through and returning in cinematic and narrative time, or a foreshadowed even brilliantly reversed and yet both believable--and in the moment of revelation--seemingly inevitable.

This, really, will be the classic film of our age. I am deliberately not sharing much about the story. Go watch it -- and watch it on the big screen. The visual spectacle of this story merits the grandeur and the communal viewing.
